The Liberal government is under scrutiny for funding Laith Marouf, who received over $122,000 from a Canadian Heritage program despite allegedly making antisemitic statements, including derogatory remarks about Jewish people and an Indigenous individual.

Marouf’s lawyer claims he does not harbor animus toward Jewish people, and the situation has raised significant controversy.
